Wow! made some more progress in my searching while waiting for answers. 1. My use of the kernel boot parameters was INcorrect! boot:bzimage noapic acpi=off will NOT work! Because I was not typing the command correctly. I found a string in grub.conf that defined the root= parameter that I was figting so madly with. The REAL answer is NOT to use the bzimage but to use one of (livecd, hdakd, hdckd, install) as "default" kernel string and add the parameters I wanted to it. That way I keep the defaults and just add mine to it. good ans--boot:livecd noapic acpi=off After playing around I found this string worked as well at getting the eth0 and acpi to be on different irq's. boot:livecd acpi=noirq 2. NOW I am up to same problem as Tom Lynn and his "adding 2nd NIC caused USB keydisk failure" series of messages. Both boil down to having the 2nd eth card in conflict with something. His solution was: Well, I tried another keydisk and the darn thing mounts now. This could simply be a coincidence, but I'll be sure to remove this KD before I try adding the 2nd NIC card back in.I am not using a keydisk yet so there is nothing being remembered between boots. I have tried using the netdev= kernel boot parameters but I can't get the syntax right. Am I able to "force" a NIC to be on IRQ:07 ? Am I able to designate which NIC will be on 07 ? 3. On to getting my IDE/CF card adapter to function correctly. I tried in a 2nd computer and seems I have a bios issue with that one. I formatted and installed the 0.3.0 version via the other machine. I tried in original machine and I could ONLY see it when plugged into the Primary Master IDE slot. MB wont recognize the adapter in the secondary slot. Oh well not important any more as I have it installed now. It boots up in the primary slot and I can "mount -o rw,remount /?" and I can make changes. Now I am up to same problem #2 as the CD. Only one NIC recognized. Now I really need to get the netdev= parms to work or find another way to get both NICs active. Background on IDE/CF. I was having difficulty getting the adapter to be recoginzed and wanted to instert real CHS values along with the yes/no answers. I finally found them here in the spec sheet for my 32Mb CF chip. http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/Datasheet/CF_8_512MB_010905.pdf Products Models unformatted Cylinder Head Sector Model No. 8MB 248 2 32 THNCF008MAA 16MB 248 4 32 THNCF016MAA 32MB 496 4 32 THNCF032MAA this is my memory part. 48MB 744 4 32 THNCF048MAA 64MB 978 4 32 THNCF064MAA 96MB 733 8 32 THNCF096MAA 128MB 978 8 32 THNCF128MAA 160MB 611 16 32 THNCF160MAA 192MB 733 16 32 THNCF192MAA 256MB 978 16 32 THNCF256MAA 320MB 814 16 48 THNCF320MAA 384MB 977 16 48 THNCF384MAA 512MB 993 16 63 THNCF512MAA |
